West Ham United's Women's League Cup group stage opponents have been confirmed.
Monday afternoon's draw has pitted Rehanne Skinner's side against Women's Championship trio Southampton, Portsmouth and London City Lionesses in Group C
The Hammers will be looking to better their best run in this competition to the semi-finals, which they have achieved twice before - in 2020/21 and 2022/23.
West Ham have twice been drawn with London City Lionesses in the group stage of the League Cup previously, winning 1-0 in October 2021, and triumphing 10-9 in a marathon penalty shoot-out following a 2-2 draw 12 months later.
Our meetings with South Coast duo Portsmouth and Southampton will be our first against them since we became a Women's Super League team in 2018.
Group stage games will be played on 2/3 October, 16/17 October, 23/24 November and 11/12 December.
Full fixture details will be announced on whufc.com in due course.
